| Obverse description | The inner core features a stylised portrait of the humanist scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam, rendered in a contemporary graphic style, occupying the left portion of the field. Radiating from the portrait, a network of interconnecting links extends across the coin surface, evoking the intellectual and human exchanges fostered by the Erasmus Programme; several of these links converge to form stars, symbolising European unity born from cross-border academic cooperation. The numerals '35', commemorating the 35th anniversary of the programme, emerge prominently from the star motif in a modern typographic treatment. The legend 'ERASMUS PROGRAMME', the dates '1987-2022', and the issuer inscription 'ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ' (Hellenic Republic) appear in the field, along with the designer's initials 'J.J.'. The outer ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union flag. |

| Reverse description | The common reverse of the €2 circulation coin, designed by Luc Luycx, depicts a geographical representation of Europe spanning both the inner core and outer ring on the right side of the coin. The denomination '2 EURO' is inscribed across the design, with the numeral '2' set in the open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Twelve stars of the European Union flag are arranged along the right portion of the outer ring, with six stars above and six below the map. Six vertical lines incised across the inner core visually unite the upper and lower star groupings, and the mint master's mark 'LL' appears in the field. |
